Show Notes

We have a great bonus episode! Friend of the podcast Ann Foster joins us to talk about her new book Rebel of the Regency (a must-read for history buffs). But we aren't just talking about Ann's fabulous book. We're also talking about the 1940 take on Pride & Prejudice, breaking down Laurence Olivier's uncomfortable Mr. Darcy, costume inauthenticity, and whether this adaptation does anything for the book.

And joining me on this cinematic road trip is McQueen biographer Marshall Terrill.
